Florida State Seminoles College Football Pregame Quote, 12/27/2022

Coop, what allows you guys to be able to focus on football but also be able to have fun on a day like this?

ROBERT COOPER: I’d say we know what we did to get here, a great season. We always knew we have one more game to win to get the 10th win, but also to enjoy ourselves. Enjoy being around each other and enjoy this opportunity we have.

Do you like roller coasters as much now as you did when you were a little kid?

ROBERT COOPER: No, I didn’t really ride the roller coasters. This is my first time. I give it a 10 out of 10 for me.

How was it to ride with the kids and kind of bond with them?

ROBERT COOPER: It was actually special to me, just because it was my first time. I had a kid named Cooper. It wasn’t his first time, so it was kind of like he took me under his wing. We were all getting used to all the rides. Yeah, it was definitely special.

How does it feel to know that something that you are having fun doing can impact and make a difference in a kid’s life?

ROBERT COOPER: Because I know it would have did the same for me. I was in this position when I was younger and being around — my brother, who was in college — so being around those college athletes and spending time with them gave me belief and gave me that hope.
